A Unique Gated Community
Kohala Ranch is divided into three primary neighborhoods, each with its own charm and climate:
❂ The Heathers – The lowest section (120'–1,000') closest to the ocean, offering warm, dry weather and sweeping coastal views. This is where you'll find some of the most luxurious homes in the community.
❂ The Meadows – Mid-elevation (1,000'–2,000') with cooler temperatures, gentle afternoon showers, and a blend of pastureland and custom homes.
❂ The Summit – At the highest elevation (2,000'–3,500'), this area features cooler weather, lush greenery, and dramatic mountain vistas.
Thanks to the natural slope of the land, most homes throughout Kohala Ranch enjoy stunning, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. On clear days, you can also see the peaks of Hualālai, Mauna Loa, and Mauna Kea, as well as the rolling Kohala Mountains to the northeast.
